And thus, the purpose of his campus tours was revealed and, honestly, if it wasn't so funny, it would be just sad. Kyle was trying to recruit s ..read more

Have you ever had a narcissist in your life, and you got to the point that you had to go completely no contact? That's what House Speaker Mike Johnson seems to be doing with controversial MAGA Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Johnson just came out and said it on Jesse Watters' show. When asked if he had "nightmares about Marjorie Taylor Greene, he said, "I don't think about her at all." Narcissists hate that more than anything. "We don't have a functioning majority when you can only lose one vote if one person has a different idea, we don't," Johnson said. " "So it's like a coalition government ..read more
